  • Joey Aguilar QB | ARI

    Joey Aguilar: Waived by Jacksonville

    Aguilar was waived by the Jaguars on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Aguilar signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April, but was unable to beat Nick Mullens or Carter Bradley for the backup quarterback spot behind Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars are expected to remain interested in the 25-year-old rookie, and he could be a top candidate to sign to the team's practice squad should he not find interest elsewhere.

  • Messiah Swinson: Let go by Green Bay

    Swinson was waived by the Packers on Sunday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    The tight end spent time on the practice squads of San Francisco, Arizona and ultimately Green Bay last season before signing a reserve/future contract with the Packers in January. During training camp, though, Swinson found himself behind 2025 breakout star Tucker Kraft, free-agent signing Jonnu Smith, and two blocking tight ends in Josh Whyle and Drake Dabney. Swinson went undrafted out of Arizona State in 2024 and has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.

  • Scott Miller WR | CHI

    Scotty Miller: Released by Chicago

    Miller was released by the Bears on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

    Miller has appeared in 93 regular-season games, split between the Buccaneers, Falcons and Steelers. The 29-year-old wide receiver will try to find an opening on another team's 53-man roster after failing to make Chicago's squad.

  • Jeremiah Franklin: Waived by Miami

    Franklin was waived by the Dolphins on Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The tight end was claimed off waivers from New England on Aug. 5 and saw second-team reps during training camp with Ben Sims (undisclosed) and Will Kacmarek (undisclosed) nursing injuries, but Franklin was not able to make enough of an impact to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. He saw two targets during preseason action but didn't record a catch. Franklin went undrafted this year after four seasons at Boston College.

  • Craig Reynolds RB | WAS

    Craig Reynolds: Fails to make Washington's roster

    Reynolds was released by the Commanders on Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Reynolds failed to make Washington's 53-man roster, though Jhabvala notes that the Commanders may have interest in adding him to the practice squad if the running back doesn't sign elsewhere. The 30-year-old running back has appeared in 60 regular-season games, split between the Commanders, Jaguars and Lions.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Agrees to new contract with Bucs

    Tucker agreed to a one-year contract Sunday with $2.5 million guaranteed to remain with the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    Tucker had been due $3.52 million on a restricted free-agent tender. With a new deal in place, Tucker is set to remain part of a Buccaneers backfield that also includes Bucky Irving and offseason addition Kenny Gainwell. Tucker led the team with seven rushing touchdowns during the 2025 regular season.

  • Tyrel Dodson LB | CAR

    Tyrel Dodson: Released by Miami

    Dodson was released by the Dolphins on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    Dodson spent his first four seasons with the Bills before bouncing around teams and landing with Miami for the 2025 season, where he recorded a career-high 129 tackles (72 solo), along with one interception and three pass breakups. The 28-year-old will likely draw interest from other NFL teams as he becomes available.

  • Geno Stone SAF | BUF

    Geno Stone: Let go by Buffalo

    Stone was released by the Bills on Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    The seventh-year pro signed a one-year deal with Buffalo in March after a career season with the Bengals in 2025, when he recorded 104 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass breakups, including two interceptions. Though Stone started for the last two years in Cincinnati, he entered Buffalo in a competition with Cole Bishop and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and he did not win a spot during training camp. Stone is a healthy, experienced, productive safety for a team in the market for one.

  • Carlos Washington: Waived by Miami

    Washington was waived by the Dolphins on Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The running back signed with Miami in May with a chance to compete for the No. 4 running back spot behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon, but he averaged just 2.3 yards per carry across 16 preseason touches. Washington saw action in one regular-season game in each of the last two seasons with Atlanta, though he has yet to receive a regular-season carry.

  • Da'Shawn Hand DE | ATL

    Falcons' Da'Shawn Hand: Battling leg injury

    Hand has missed most of training camp due to a leg injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    It's unknown how severe the injury is, but questions concerning Hand's health arose after Atlanta acquired Gervon Dexter from Chicago on Sunday. Hand, the 2018 No. 114 overall pick, has bounced around the NFL since being drafted, making stops in Detroit, Miami and Los Angeles (Chargers), where he most recently appeared in 13 regular-season games and amassed 29 total tackles and 1.5 sacks during the 2025-26 campaign. Until there is a definitive update, the 30-year-old should at least be considered day-to-day.
